Optional Enclosed Cab. The optional cab provides excellent visibility, designed with the maximum glass area. There is also an additional option of dual pane windows available for cold weather environments. The cab is equipped with a skylight window to view the boom and upper block. The side windows are screened to allow better ventilation and ground communication. The optional cab is equipped with wipers on the front, rear and door windows to provide a clearer view during inclement weather. Eight additional halogen lights come with the cab arrangement, 3 facing forward, 2 to the rear, 2 to the boom side and 1 to the winch side. 7 Power Train The rugged, easy-to-service Cat C15 engine with ACERTTM Technology has a high torque rise and meets worldwide emissions regulations. Engine. The Cat C15 engine with ACERTTM Technology provides the power for the 583T. Performing at full-rated net power of 231 kW (310 hp) at 1, 850 rpm, the large displacement and high torque rise provides the 583T the power needed on challenging jobs. Matched to the high-efficiency torque divider and electronically controlled power shift transmission, it will provide years of dependable service. The one-piece, grey iron block features generous ribbing for stiffness and heavy bearing bulkheads for rigidity and strength. Incorporation of straight o-ring connection points reduces the loss of engine oil and fluids. Constant Net Horsepower. · Constant net horsepower allows the operator to maintain high standards of performance and response, even when parasitic loads, such as the on-demand cooling fan, are applied. Engine automatically adjusts to maintain power output and conversely lowers output when demands are low. Significant fuel savings in cooler climates and during long engine idle times typical of pipeline applications. · · 8 ADEMTM A4 Engine Controller. The ADEM A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery to get the best performance per liter (gal) of fuel used. It provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs. It tracks engine and machine conditions while keeping the engine operating at peak efficiency. Precisely shaping the combustion cycle lowers combustion chamber temperatures generating fewer emissions and optimizing fuel combustion; translating into more work output for your fuel cost.
